Abstract
- An external hemipelvectomy (hindquarter amputation) is a major mutilating amputation that includes the lower extremity and half of the pelvic rim. It is rarely performed due to its mutilating character and the technical difficulties involved. The main indications for the operation include sarcomas and extensive trauma. In this paper, the authors discuss the historical aspects and current status of this rare operation, as well as its role in the oncological approach to sarcomas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
